Answer Christ’s Call to Humility and Service This Palm Sunday

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week and commemorates Christ’s triumphant yet humble entry into Jerusalem. Riding on a donkey, a symbol of peace and humility (Matthew 21:1-11), Jesus demonstrated what true leadership looks like—rooted in love, service, and compassion.

This sacred day invites us to reflect on Christ’s journey and challenges us to follow His example of humility. Just as the crowds laid palms before Him, we are called to lay down pride, embrace a spirit of service, and extend compassion to those in need.

Answering this call to service, the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate embody Christ’s acts of mercy in their mission, reaching beyond spiritual care to address physical and community challenges. Through their dedicated work, they provide tangible support that transforms lives:

How Your Gift Makes a Difference. In critical areas like:

In vital areas such as:

• Strengthening Faith: In places like rural communities in Zambia or among Native American groups in Minnesota, Mass is celebrated, sacraments are administered, and faith formation programs are led. These efforts deepen Catholic bonds, build resilient communities, and prepare hearts for Holy Week and Easter.
• Empowering Through Education: Schools and vocational training programs in areas such as Zambia and the Philippines empower youth to overcome poverty. These initiatives foster dignity, self-reliance, and provide a pathway to lasting hope.
• Healing the Sick: In cities like Tijuana, Mexico, medical clinics deliver life-saving healthcare to underserved communities. They address both physical ailments and provide spiritual comfort to those in need.
• Feeding Families: Through sustainable agriculture projects in regions like São Paulo, Brazil, or food programs in Haiti, hunger and malnutrition are tackled. These efforts nourish families physically while offering encouragement to rebuild their lives.

Your support lets the Missionary Oblates continue their sacred mission. Through your generosity, they can bring Christ’s light to the forgotten, meeting spiritual needs first while transforming communities through education, healthcare, and compassion.

Let us honor Christ’s humble path together. By extending His love to those in need, you can create lasting change and illuminate pathways of hope for generations to come.
